The disagreement isn't about whether he is or isn't responsible for what he said. I am not denying this.

What I find strange is that you said specifically that he couldn't have been deceived and then tell describe Tommy Robinson as a crook. Your internal logic isn't consistent.

What I am trying to explain to you is that this may not because he some sort of unrepentant racist. It happens because it is partly a reaction to people like you who are preachy and moralistic and due to him getting listening to the wrong people after his world view is rocked.

I've fallen down the political/conspiracy rabbit hole myself. I've seen it happen to other people. So I can empathise with someone coming to the conclusions he has.

The fact that you are unwilling even bother entertaining any explanations is a moral failing on your part and is leading to the increasing political polarisation that we see today.

You are part of the problem as much as he is and the people that I believed deceived him.

> You can call me names all you like but I think it’s kind of weird that you would go to bat for him like this.

I said you were an ignoramus based on your statements made to me. You were unwilling to bother doing some basic investigation. This is quite frankly unacceptable tbh, after you express such strong views.

Also is nothing weird about what I am saying at all. I am suspect like others have done to me you just want to call me a secret fascist, simply because I don't want to condemn someone because they have expressed what is at the end of the day is simply unpopular viewpoint.

I am also fed up of this being brought up every time the project is mentioned. It is tiresome. That is it.
